If it is anything similar to the IDL to C++ mapping by OMG, then we 
are better off not looking in there... ;-)

I guess the main question at this point is what would be the minimal
implementation that you would find usable.

I guess the data binding as well as the service stub/skeletons from
WSDL definitions are required. So when you call a stub you get 
serialized XML of the message on the other side. Similarly, you
can pass an XML message to a skeleton and it will dispatch the
corresponding virtual function.

We can also provide support for wrapping/extraction these messages
into/from a SOAP envelope (I think this can be done by compiling
the SOAP schemas with XSD and then using the wildcard support to
get/set the body of the envelope).

So the question is whether something like this will be useful to
you.
